TIMES(2)                 DOMAIN/IX SYS5                  TIMES(2)



NAME
     times - get process times

USAGE
     #include <sys/types.h>
     #include <sys/times.h>

     times(buffer)
     struct tms *buffer;


DESCRIPTION
     Times returns time-accounting information for the current
     process and for any terminated child processes of the
     current process.  All times are in 1/HZ seconds, where HZ is
     60.

     This is the structure returned by times:

       struct tms {
            time_t    tms_utime;          /* user time */
            time_t    tms_stime;          /* system time */
            time_t    tms_cutime;         /* user time, children */
            time_t    tms_cstime;         /* system time, children */
       };

     The "children" times are the sum of the children's process
     times and their children's times.

     On DOMAIN Systems, the system time is always returned as 0,
     since it is considered part of the user time.
